Airway Orthodontics

  • Are you concerned about your childโ€™s breathing?
  • Does your child experience frequent ear, nose, and throat issues, like ear infections, allergies, sinus problems, asthma attacks, or acid reflux?
  • Have you noticed that your childโ€™s teeth are showing signs of damage or an abnormal amount of plaque buildup?
  • Does your child mostly breathe through their mouth?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, there is a good chance that your child has an obstructed airway and poor facial development.

  • Have you noticed that your childโ€™s teeth are showing signs of damage or an abnormal amount of plaque buildup?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, there is a good chance that your child has an obstructed airway and poor facial development.

This is a problem!

Proper facial and airway development is crucial to your childโ€™s good health.

  • 78% of pediatric orthodontic patients have an airway disorder, which stems from incorrect facial development.
  • Up to 92% of orthodontic patients have a sleep-related breathing disorder.

Why you should be concerned

Your childโ€™s airway includes their mouth, nose, throat, windpipe, and voicebox. When it is obstructed or poorly developed, it can lead to mouth breathing, which can, in turn, cause a host of health problems, including but not limited to:

  • Chronic bad breath
  • Gum disease
  • Abnormal plaque buildup on teeth/tooth damage
  • Recurring sinus/ear/throat infections
  • Allergies
  • Improper facial development
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • Asthma
  • Heart problems

The Solution

Airway-focused Orthodontics - MyoBraceยฎ

Treat the underlying causes to foster natural growth and development with the MyoBraceยฎ System.

Myobraceยฎ corrects breathing issues in children by teaching them to breathe through the nose, rest the tongue on the roof of the mouth, and swallow correctly. It widens the jaws to help them grow properly and develop fully, creating the right amount of space for the teeth, allowing them to come in naturally straight, frequently preventing your child from ever needing braces.

The Myobrace System is preventive pre-orthodontic treatment ideal for children from 3 to 15 years old. It uses a series of removable intraoral appliances that your child wears for 1-2 hours a day and overnight.

Myobrace treatment:

  • Promotes proper facial and jaw development
  • Straightens teeth and aligns the bite
  • Improves overall health, including recurring ENT issues
  • Promotes healthy chewing and swallowing

Treatment with MyoBrace will help your child breathe through their nose instead of their mouth, correct the resting position of the tongue, and keep your childโ€™s lips together to further discourage mouth breathing.

If you want your child to breathe easier day and night and experience fewer illnesses as they grow and as an adult, contact us to schedule a consultation. Your child’s health depends on it!

I hadn't been to the dentist in awhile and did some research locally and found KFD. The office is bright and clean and new, and all of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Jenny did a great job walking me through everything and it was probably the most pleasant cleaning and exam I've ever had! Dr. Greg came over to introduce himself and answer any questions I had. I'll be back for some minor work and regular cleanings going forward. And hopefully get to meet the office pupper next time too!

Dr Greg, I believe was his name. I am not good with names. He was able to get me in today when I was in extreme pain and unable to chew or open my mouth, as well as line up my teeth. I stumped him for a couple minutes. No infection, just a small cavity but nothing that should do this. When he massaged my cheek he noticed an area that was tight close to where my back upper and lower jaw meet. It hurt when he did this but when he was done, I could line my teeth back up again as well as open and close my mouth with very little pain. I was so pleased! Everyone is always friendly and it doesn't matter who I get as a dentist, I ALWAYS feel relaxed.

I'm a new patient of Dr. Sara. She is wonderful. I have never liked any dentist I have had in the past, but I'm happy to say I do now. I had a temporary crown done recently and she and her assistant were so nice and accommodating and tried their best to put me at ease (Gibbs helped too!). I have a lot of anxiety going to the dentist and I'm hoping that will go away at least a little bit. Also, what can I say about Gibbs?! He's amazing! Came in to introduce himself to me and checked on me twice before walking me out at the end. What a sweet sweet boy! I look forward to seeing him again! Everyone I have met has been very nice!

I had a dental checkup that was a great appointment. I felt welcomed and taken care of from being greeted when I came inside through the end of my appointment. They answered any questions I had. I plan to refer any new clients to the Kewaskum Family Dentistry Team.
